Abraham 1

 A troubling event we learn from Abraham was that - 

"Now, this priest had offered upon this altar three virgins at one time, who were the daughters of Onitah, one of the royal descent directly from the loins of Ham. These virgins were offered up because of their virtue; they would not bow down to worship gods of wood or of stone, therefore they were killed upon this altar, and it was done after the manner of the Egyptians."  (Abraham 1:11)

We later find that when Abraham was to be sacrificed, the Lord saved him.  Interesting, but why?  We know that the Lord intended for Abraham to have a great posterity.  Why did He not allow these three virgins the same?  If we are faithful and declare "Thy will be done", we will come to understand at a later time.
